Class fee: $75 per person per class - includes recipe and one dozen uncooked tamales. Class fees go to support our Senior Nutrition & Wellness Program that provides balanced daily congregate meals, daily social and educational activities, exercise classes three times a week, and delivered meals to homebound seniors each week.

Class will begin promptly at 10:00 AM in the kitchen at El Centro de la Raza. All cooking supplies and ingredients will be provided, but please bring your own apron.

The class focuses on the traditional preparation of authentic pork tamales. The tamales are prepared in the handmade and traditional fashion using cultural ingredients, which includes pork lard. No substitutions can be made, but after the class we can provide an alternate vegetarian recipe upon request.
